Bridgerton Star Nicola Coughlan Wore a Tight Black Corset Over a Red Leather Trench Coat — See Photos

Coughlan styled her corset and coat with a teeny black Kate Spade bag and outsized silver ball earrings, blonde waves, and smoky eyes courtesy of make-up artist Daniel Martin. Gone are Penelope Featherington’s pastel robes, in addition to her tumbling pink curls. (Coughlan wears wigs when she’s in character as Penelope.)

Whereas Coughlan herself might be drawn to shiny white and daring pink shades, her onscreen character ditched the orange and yellow robes in favor of softer shades, in addition to a dramatic emerald inexperienced second. “We softened her colours and used blue and inexperienced collectively, little little bit of pinks, touches of yellow,” Bridgerton costume designer John Glaser instructed Teen Vogue of Penelope’s season 3 transformation. “We did not wish to place Easter eggs for individuals to suppose, ‘Oh, this blue costume means she’s going to be a Bridgerton.’ I needed to maintain all of the costumes somewhat mysterious as a result of they have been all altering and evolving.”

We might not see Penelope in a scarlet trench coat and corset on the present, however we’re loving it on Nicola Coughlan!
